Pink & Oversized..two of my favorite things.

 As we sneak closer into the chillier weather most of us will be mixing pieces from both our summer and fall wardrobe. From shorts and booties, jeans and short sleeve tee’s, or as in today’s case shorts and an oversized sweatshirt…the combinations are endless…so don’t put away your summer attire just yet.

This high neck sweatshirt is a perfect transitioning piece. I love anything oversized and especially turtlenecks!! I added shorts a floral statement necklace with crystals because hey, it isn’t fall just yet!! Shop this look below:

I don’t understand how it is already September!! Where did the summer go…

Today’s post has been delayed for a few days because I was in the city but here it finally is! Destroyed mom jeans and a long sleeved crop=a few transitional pieces to hold you over until the colder weather approaches.

This outfit is an affordable off-duty look with edge and style. You will be sure to stand out in these authentic high-waist jeans and patterned long sleeved crop top. Add a pair of statement sneakers to finish off the look. Shop below:

Damn Daniel….back at it again with the white vans…….(but seriously)

I have been wearing the classic slip-on with just about everything this summer. From shorts, dresses, and maxi skirts as you saw on the blog yesterday.

On hot days like today it is easiest to wake up and throw on a mini dress. As I’m sure you know off-of-the shoulder pieces are everywhere these days and a summer must-have.

If I was to pick out all of my favorite off of the shoulder dresses this season you would be scrolling for hours. I decided to stick to similar tones and easy day-to-day styles.

When I was shooting looks the ice cream man drove by and I had this brilliant idea that I needed to get something and use it in my photos. If you are wondering why I am barely smiling…..it is because out of all of the options I chose the blue and green sour popsicle and it completely turned my mouth colors…..so safe to say I will not be doing that again. Thank god it was one of my last looks. 

Cold Shoulder

Hey everyone,

After feeling a little under the weather yesterday and in bed the entire day with allergies and a pretty bad migraine, today I'm a little better. So I am going to try to go about my day, keeping my fingers crossed. I have spoken before about how I am loving wearing sneakers lately, especially with cute dresses and this is one of them. This striped dress with the cold shoulders is the second striped one I bought from French Connection and it is perfect to wear with sneakers. The look is just simple and fresh, easy to wear just about anywhere and very comfortable. You can add a few accessories with it, I thought about a white fedora with a black ribbon which would have been adorable but the decided to forgo, pull my hair back and just keep the look all about the dress. So on the lookout for these since I am more of a dress girl anyway. Find your favorites, the prices range and this particular one was about $80.00. Not too bad and I would even wear this on a bike ride. You can shop this look and similar below. Have a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!

T.G.I.F

I have been meaning to mention this for a while now, and you probably don’t need me to tell you that a white tee is a closet essential (duh.) HOWEVER, if you are over-using this basic and most overlooked item…it may be time to invest in a new, clean, and crisp white tee. I mean, think about it…it has the most versatility out of anything you own. It takes you to the gym, to get coffee, to the office, and even out at night..am I right?!

There is nothing like being casual and comfortable…especially at the end of a long week. Today I decided to pair MY new white tee from Splendid with my newest go-to jeans, a gingham blazer, and signature Puma kicks. A perfect casual Friday if you ask me.

I am headed into the city for a Rebecca Minkoff event tonight. You are invited to come join me at the new store in Soho from 6-8 pm for styling tips, 20% off, and a chance to win a free handbag!! I hope you can make it and I look forward to seeing many of you there!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

XOXO

Kick Back

Dress:Rag&Bone|Sneakers:Vince(similar)|Bag:Fendi|Sunnies:J.Crew x Illesteva (sold out)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Everything is all about the ‘kicks’ these days. It makes sense for the girl always on the run…they are practical and most of all comfortable…and you can pair them with pretty much anything. My kicks today have mesh side panels making them that much cooler!!

I am wearing a Rag & Bone navy/black two-tone dress, Illesteva sunnies, and my favorite mini Fendi monster bag for a very casual look. This is an outfit that is very easy to make your own by adding pieces for your own unique flare. Get the look below:

Patch Things Up

Jumpsuit:BooHoo|Tee:JCrew

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Your 70s style inspo starts with a jumpsuit…and ends somewhere between patchwork embellishments and vintage finds. The appliques on this pair of dungarees are lighthearted and they add a special touch. I tied a vintage Celine scarf around my neck and added white low top converse for a pieced together look and timeless appeal.

I am headed to Aruba next week and I definitely can see myself traveling in this number (or one of my many other vacation finds) because 1. it is comfortable and 2. most importantly… very cute. 

You see patches on everything these days from denim, to tee’s, and even sneakers…you can even buy them separate to DIY. Shop today's look and other adorable finds below:

Pleated Poise

Top:T by Alexander Wang(sold out)|Skirt: Derek Lam 10 Crosby(sold out)|Sneakers:Zara

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I have had this mini skirt from A.L.C. for so long now and could never seem to pair it with the right top/shoes. The top part of the skirt is actually a gray sweatshirt material and then finished off with chic white pleats at the bottom. After purchasing this muscle tank by Alexander Wang (also sweatshirt material) I wanted to try it on “just to see what it would look like” with the skirt and I ended up loving the combo. It is sporty yet still girly. For shoes I went with a pair of white slip-on hightops from Zara.

For those who are wondering about this super cool necklace…it was a present from Ellie Vail Jewelry (www.ellievail.com) I am so obsessed with it and have been wearing it nonstop. When I had on this outfit I knew this had to be the necklace for it. The heartbeat rhythm reminded me of the black graphic tee I wanted oh sooo bad from Alexander Wang with the red heartbeat circling it from front to back.

And last but not least…today let me formally introduce you to KARLITO!! I just love him. He was an early birthday gift from my mother (you da bomb Gail). I added him to my mustard color Givenchy bag for a pop of color and fun.  Shop similar below. 

Ciao Bella

JCrew: Jacket, Tee, Jeans, Vans (for J.Crew)| Pouch: Banana Republic 

This cinched swing jacket is a perfect layering piece for the season. The rubber printed stripes on the sleeves give it a rainy day vibe, however this jacket is great for any tricky weather spring brings with it. Today my Current Elliot oversized denim jacket saves me yet AGAIN underneath for some extra warmth. These slip-on lilac Vans pick up some of the color from the striped linen baseball tee and add a very laidback look.  

Sweatshirt Trench

Coat: Jack by BB Dakota Last seen here|Skirt:JCrew (Older)

Converse sneakers have been around for years and are one of the most practical shoes. The reason being…they can be worn ranging with sweatpants to dresses and skirts and can suit all styles. Today I am wearing a white pair with all neutrals and a mix of sweatshirt material pieces. This is the first time I am wearing this trench style coat from Jack by BB Dakota and I have no idea why because I am so in love with it!!! The gray sleeves and hood against the khaki panels add such a different twist on the average trench. I paired it with a simple white tee and ‘flared surf skirt’ for a practical yet adorable everyday outfit.  

Ribbon Bib

Pants:JCrew|Blouse:JCrew|Plaid Top:Joie|Jacket: Current Elliot|Sneakers:Miu Miu

There is something about the ribbon bib on this shirt that makes me fall in love with it. It almost has a baby doll style look when buttoned to the top.  Instead of dressing the ‘tux-like’ shirt up, I paired it with skinny stretch cargo pants, which match perfectly to the color of my Miu Miu crystal sneakers. An oversized trucker denim jacket on top and a plaid button up tied around my waist make for a look that never goes out of style. 

Knit Culottes

Happy Friday!!! Thank god it is finally the weekend! This look is all about comfort or as some may call it “casual Friday”. I paired these amazing knit culottes from Zara with a simple white long sleeve tee, white converse, and a chambray shirt. A shirt tied around the waist tends to look effortless and breezy, and is such a great way to relax a look…and I am definitely going to be rocking these pants a lot this spring, they are so easy to throw on with just about anything.


Blue Bomber

Shot by Emily Cloutier

 It is almost 40 outside today!! Wahoo!! Talking about weather may be one of the most boring conversations, but lately it has been front and center for us New Yorkers. Today’s street style shots are pretty different than what I am used to but I am loving the stair action. This look is super duper casual and I may be pushing the limits with only a lightweight bomber jacket on…but I just cannot wait any longer. These are one of my favorite pair of Rag & Bone pants. They fit me perfectly (which is hard to find) and I love the military kind of look the suede side patches give them. I paired them with suede slip-on’s (also Rag & Bone) a chambray shirt, and of course the blue bomber for a real street look.

 Jeans & Chambray Shirt: J.Crew

Leather Jacket: Coach (Older, Similar Here)

Sneakers: Diemme

This leather jacket is one of those 'awesome purchases' I have had for years. Its trendy yet chic cut allows for it to be styled so differently each time it is worn. The fringe adds a motorcycle feel, while the fur trimmed collar adds a luxurious statement when worn on a dressier occasion. I paired this jacket with a chambray shirt and light wash denim jeans to give the old canadian tuxedo a fresher look. Just like the jacket, the denim on denim style has endless possibilities. Paired with these red suede sneaker styled boots makes this outfit urban cool.

Jeans: Theory

Sneakers: Nike

I am obsessed with this Chelsea Shearling Collar Biker Jacket!! It has a biker-inspired silhouette with quilted lining and a detachable shearling collar. Now that the weather is getting colder and jackets are a must…this one in particular is great because the collar turns up to cover your face on those windy days. For a casual look I paired it with a pair of jeans and my burgundy leather Nike Blazer's.

Pants: J.Crew Collection(Sold Out-Availble in corsican forest)

Sneakers: Vince

Jewelry: David Yurman, Hermes

This leather pant goes on skinny and stretchy with an elastic waist, similar to your favorite pair of leggings. I love how you can dress the leather up with a nice heel, or wear them casual with a pair of sneakers. This pair of  suede and fur-lined sneakers offer the ultimate contrast of sporty and chic.

The flattering seams and structure of this fitted and flared neoprene-like skirt makes for a perfect boating outfit. Slip-on sneakers and a playful infinity scarf add color and pattern to this laid-back look.
